I'm not young any more, but I remember being 14 and keeping my parents from hearing some of the songs as I was too scared they'd ask me what they were really about. Then my Mother saw the cover of the SOTT tour book, laughed and said that now she knew he wasn't gay, as he was really a lesbian... she thought she was being really daring and funny with that comment...

it seems the world has moved on a bit, good for you young org:ers!

I got myself into Prince, but yeah, my parents LOVE him.

My mum isn't much of a fan although she does like listening to him time and again. She came with me to a 21 Nights show!

Well, I'm not exactly young, having recently had a birthday that's too close to 40 for my liking. But anyway... My mum loves Prince. She's 63 now and has a dodgy knee, but still managed to dance the night away at the O2 on the 13th September. Went to the aftershow too.

I went to a fair number of shows during that run and that was my thank you to her for all the baby sitting she'd done.

no they're stuck in the 60's when they're not too busy listening to seasick steve

mii mom kinda lyks prince, not alot though. she pretty much lyks the pr era

I am not that young...but...my mom thought he was weird(80's-PR). I found out though that my mother-in-law is a big fan. My husband said he was introduced to P in the late 70's through her. I want to go to a concert with her. She'll be fun.

I guess I'm an older orger...but 4 what it's worth...my parents like Prince.

I have to say as a 20's orger I have never met anybody who didn't like Prince, not to say I haven't heard some wild stories about him that ppl have told me

My dad once mentioned that he really liked one of princes songs, but he didn't remember which one it is.. not sure that my parents are into him that much though

My mum likes the Purple Rain and Diamonds and Pearls albums..

My dad can't stand him lol. I can't even count how many times we've argued over Prince's brilliance

My Mother is a Prince fan. She's the 1 that got me into him. When I was in the womb she would put headphones on her belly and Prince was one of the artist she played. Once I got to the young age of picking music to listen, she'd tell me what songs/albums I couldnt listen to but whenever she left the house I'd listen to them anyway.

Yea my parents like him. They're not hardcore fans like me tho. When i was just getting into Prince, my mom told me she saw him on the PR tour like 4 times, I was really jealous

What's a cassette?

My mum and dad likes Prince, but I think they have began to like him more, now that I am a fan LOL

utterly pointless.

Well this thread was here before the other pointless threads trying to mock this one showed up. Some of y'all need to lighten up.

My mom introduced me to Prince! I remember she had a VHS that she taped MuchMusic the whole day and it had most or ALL of Princes videos up to whatever year it was. I would be there using the end of the vacuum as a microphone (remember Controversy very well). Edit: He (plus Tom Petty) introduced me into Telecasters.

Yes my parents like Prince. My dad was a big fan of Prince. That's why I love Prince.

My Parents weren't born here so no they don't like prince.In fact my whole family thinks it's strange I'm into prince, My mom thinks Prince is related to Michael Jackson.
